This was the title of one of the “Flying A” movies released in December 1918. The moral of this movie is – don’t leap to conclusions and file for divorce just because you find a strange man in your wife’s bed. There was actually a good reason for him to be there – and he wasn’t waiting for a train.
Old love letters also fuel marital discord in addition to a pilfering maid and a well-meaning judge who tries to reunite the estranged couple. In the end, the marriage is saved and wedded bliss is the theme of the day. Whew!

Betsy’s Way Back When book — 1918 — is now available in local bookstores and at Amazon.com. This is the fifth book in my series of the history of Santa Barbara, one year at a time.
